    ok well its Sunday. I am down to 253. That is a 2 pound loss for me this week. Two is better then none in my eyes. I am going to change up my diet to eat less carbs and more protein and we will see how that goes next week.
    Well I hope everyone else is doing well.
    I have done my exercises all week long as well.

    Good Job Ladies,

    Sorry this has been a crazy weekend for me. With preparing for my trip to Ecuador and moving out of my apartment to finding a dress for the wedding I'm going to, this has been nuts!

    I did find out I'm a a size 04/06! :0)

    This is my ideal size, I just want to fit in it a little more loosely but I don't want to be much smaller! I'm going for the athletic look versus skinny. So i'm on my way there thanks to much of your support!

    Have a great day!

    This morning I got up and did my walk and tone. That was 15 minutes. Tonight after taking my daughter to cheer practice I plan to workout again. I am so sick of feeling fat and I am determined not to gain the weight back. I have been overweight for 8 years now and its time to end. Well I hope everyone else is doing good.

    Monday 8/13
    water: yes (12)
    sodium: yes
    exercise: no
    comments: I was EXHAUSTED when I got home from work last night, and fell asleep immediately after supper, so didn't get my exercises done for this challenge. However, I did get a great workout done in the morning before work: 30-min pushups/situps/squats/dips and 30-min elliptical.

    Tuesday 8/14
    water: yes (13)
    sodium: yes
    exercise: yes
    comments: Feeling much more energetic today, despite waking up at 4:00 a.m. this morning! Just finished my challenge exercises, and am curious how long we're supposed to hold the "bridge" position, as I found several different instructions on the internet for this exercise.

    On another note, I'm finding it easier to drink water, whereas at first it was a real chore. I try to drink 6 glasses before noon, and another 4 during the afternoon before leaving work. That way, I don't have to drink a lot of water at night, and now I am sleeping through the night without waking up!

    How's everybody doing? Have a great Wednesday!

    Neck 14 ... 13.75
    Bust 38 ... 36.5
    Chest 32.5 ... 32.0
    Biceps 11 ... L/R 11.25/11.0
    Forearms 9.5 ... L/R 9.5/9.0
    Waist 34 ... 34
    Hips 39 ... 37.75
    Thighs 23 ... 22.5
    Calves 14 ... 13.75
    Weight 143 ... 140 (goal was 137)
    Well, I didn't make it to my goal weight this month, but I am satisfied with the changes for the month, and am motivated to work even harder this month to continue the weight-loss. August turned out to be one of the hardest months at work that I've had ever since starting, because we had to prepare for a really big inspection that required long days every day, plus working weekends. So I am glad that I was in the challenge, because it helped me ensure that I kept working out daily. In the past, I would have let work prevent me from working out, because I was "too busy." But now I am really making exercise a top priority, and attempting to work out every weekday morning no matter what. It's helped a lot.

    I was really hoping to have reached at least 139 by the end of August, and I've been hovering at 140 for the past two weeks. Maybe this week?

    I have been very encouraged by seeing Kim's accomplishments: she has posted some remarkable success this month during the "August team challenge." Thanks for sharing, Kim!

    Cheers to all, and have a great September!

    I am so sorry. I just realized that you two are the only people participating in your group. I did give you points for what you guys did have posted. I wish I would have noticed before because I had a couple teams that could have taken you guys on so you would have had other people to help encourage eachother. Good luck in your journey and congrats on your changes that you had in August.
